When one thinks about the origins of tea, countries like China and India will often come to mind. During our journey of tea origins, we have discovered many other less known countries that have established delicious tea and created successful tea markets. Africa is another region that has contributed significantly to the tea community by harvesting its own indigenous teas and becoming one of the world's largest tea exporters. Along with Egypt, there are a handful of African countries responsible for harvesting some of the world's finest loose-leaf tea. Kenya is known for its brisk and robust black and purple tea, and Tanzania produces a delicious orange pekoe. South Africa is recognized for its innovation of Rooibos and Honeybush tea. Our main focus will be on South Africa, where our rooibos and selection of herbal teas originate.
